TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [389] this we have had before.
2. As we find, some of those conditions - notably the pressure in the circulation and the tendency for the filling of the blood vessels in such measures and manners as to produce a plethora in the activity of same - have occurred in a specific way and manner. Hence those periods of semi- consciousness that have existed, and the pains in head, side, and the inability of the body in some directions to control the locomotaries - or the feeling of the prickly sensation in a portion of the shoulders and face and side. All of these are the effects, as we find.
3. In the present we would adhere to the eliminations that have been indicated for the evacuation of the alimentary canal, just so that these do not interfere with the applications being made. Where sedatives have been administered, and where there has been the necessity of stimulation for the heart's action, these are good in their proper order, but the drosses from the system must be relieved.
4. We find that it would be most helpful and beneficial to massage over the lower portion of the head, the neck, and especially over those portions of the body where there has been contraction in the side and in the spinal area - as in the lower cervical, the upper dorsal areas specifically, (always massaging DOWNWARD) with a compound prepared in this manner:
   To 1 quart of Kerosene, add:

   Oil of Cedar...................1/2 ounce,
Tincture of Benzoin............1/4 ounce,
Russian White Oil................2 ounces,
Witchhaze1.......................2 ounces.

5. These ingredients will tend to separate, but shake the solution well together before pouring out a small quantity into an open vessel to be massaged into the portion of the body as indicated.
6. We would keep as much of the Olive Oil taken internally as the body will assimilate.
7. Not non-activity of the body, but too strenuous or too much in the open or the tendency for the activities to be such that produce the raising of the blood pressure would be harmful to the body. Being in the open and exercising the mental and physical would be well, but not too strenuous.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What will relieve the terrific headaches when they occur?
   (A) The better will be to rub the lower portion of the head, or the upper portion of the neck and down the spine and away from the head; rubbing the blood away from the head, you see, with those properties indicated. Using the high enemas to relieve the pressure here will relieve headaches, too.
10. (Q) Will this treatment also relieve the suffering in left side?
    (A) As indicated, the rubs and equalizing the circulation will make for relieving these conditions.
    Do this.
11. We are through with this reading.
